A member asked:
How much time does it take to loose legs arms speaking if they tell ya primary lateral sclerosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable, but: Many pts succumb within 5-10 yrs at most. Others may rapidly lose function over just several months to 1 or 2 years. No magic formula, but Riluzole can delay deterioration for at least 6-9 months or more.
